DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 95-ASO-23]
Removal of Class E Airspace; Marietta, GA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment removes Class E airspace at Marietta, GA. The
required weather observations are not available to Atlanta Tower, the
ATC facility having jurisdiction over the Class E2 surface area
airspace at the Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport, when the Cobb
County-McCollum Field Airport Traffic Control Tower is closed.
Therefore, the Class E2 surface area airspace for the airport must be
revoked.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 9091 UTC, February 29, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benny L. McGlamery, System Management Branch, Air Traffic Division,
Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia
30320; telephone (404) 305-5570.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
It is a requirement that weather observations shall be taken at the
surface area's primary airport during the times and dates a surface
area is designated, and further that the required weather observation
shall be transmitted expeditiously to the ATC facility having
jurisdiction over the surface area. When the Cobb County-McCollum Field
Airport Traffic Control Tower is closed this requirement is not being
met. This action will eliminate the impact Class E2 surface area
airspace has placed on users of the airspace in the vicinity of the
Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport. This rule will become effective on
the date specified in the DATES section. Since this action removes the
Class E2 surface area airspace, which eliminates the impact of Class E2
surface area airspace on users of the airspace in the vicinity of the
Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport, notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
The Rule
The amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) removes Class E airspace at Marietta, GA. The required
weather observations are not available to Atlanta Tower, the ATC
facility having jurisdiction over the Class E2 surface area airspace at
the Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport, when the Cobb County-McCollum
Field Airport Traffic Control Tower is closed. Therefore, the Class E2
surface area airspace for the airport must be revoked.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
